A question was asked earlier if this building has an entrance. I did some research and discovered it does. It's actually the Central Library of Nice. The building is over 85 ft high and has three floors inside the head. Must be a pretty cool library!!

I'm really not sure, Gwyn. We couldn't see any entry, although we were just driving by and I took the photo thru the window. It does kinda grow on ya! ;-)
